The Undead [US] 🎃🔪💀👻

Happy Halloween everyone! I thought I would post something just a little different from The Undead, a band that maybe not many people know about. The band has a never-ending rotation of members but the sole original founding member has stayed the same from 1980 until now, Bobby Steele, who was also the 2nd guitar player for The Misfits, before being replaced by Doyle. Steele can be heard on the legendary Misfits records Horror Business, Night of the Living Dead, 3 Hits from Hell, Beware and Halloween as well as the "missing" album 12 Hits from Hell. After leaving, Steele formed The Undead, playing guitar & singing, in New York City along with Chris "Jack" Natz on bass and Patrick Blanck on drums. Their first 7", Nine Toes Later, came out in 1982 and was actually financed by Glenn Danzig. They released a few more EP's and then the LP Act Your Rage in 1989. After that, the records kept coming and the band still continues to play to this day. As with most things, their early stuff is the best stuff, but the new stuff is not terrible. The band's sound has aged pretty well and is miles above all of those new Misfits releases. If you are a fan of old school horror punk, definitely check out their early stuff at least. The best way I can describe it is imagine The Misfits meets The Dead Boys but with GG Allin on vocals. Great snotty horror punk stuff.

Jesus Christ I don't think I even know how to write a record review anymore but I will try since this comes out today from friends of the blog, Sore Ear Collective. I'm talking of course about the debut Drowse LP, Dance In The Decay. Drowse is a 4-piece band from Philadelphia who have been putting out music ever since their demo cassette in 2014, and you can find a few more tapes and 7-Inches of theirs out there if you're lucky. But if you want this new LP, you had better act quick because it's limited to just 100 copies. Musically, Drowse will give you a moody punch right in the mouth, but they bring the hooks as well as the fury, and you'll keep coming back for more. Dance In The Decay never lets up. The production is loud as fuck and they've nailed the minute-and-a-half punk song thing all while bringing a frantic darkness that is missing from all other minute-and-a-half punk songs. I ripped through this record and immediately started it again, and again. If you like bands like Obliterations, Centuries, Bl'ast!, Total Abuse, Funeral Chic or Moral Void, I think you will dig Drowse. Purchase above & click below to listen in full on Spotify, enjoy!

Everything is Name Your Price...

3,000,000

Hey everyone, I wasn't sure how to bring this up on the blog, or if I even should, but in the end I just thought it was too awesome to ignore. The blog passed 3 Million unique siteviews this weekend! I know a lot of other sites probably have way more traffic than that, but there are a lot of sites that don't even make it very long at all. So I think it's pretty awesome that we have lasted over 7 years and it seems like hitting this number is something we should all celebrate. 

I figured that I could give everyone a little peek behind the curtain here and show off some analytics. As of right now, there are 5,630 posts on the blog, which kind of blows me away. This averages out to around 65 posts a month, or about 16 a week. Insane. As you can see below, things got a little crazy in the fall of 2016 when we hit 85K views in October and then again around the same time in 2017 when we hit 77K views in September. I have no idea what the hell that was all about, but I think it's really cool that things have been really steady ever since then (the little dip at the end is just because this month just started). 

So I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that's ever visited or contributed, especially to Chris M, who does the majority of the posting around here. Hopefully we will all be here for a long time. And in case anyone was wondering if we are making money off of these views, I have never, and will never have ads enabled on the site, so that's a no for sure. The cost for the domain and for the chats is very, very minimal to me considering all of the awesome music we get to share with each other.

If you click the "CONTINUE READING" link below, you'll see some more cool analytical stuff like what Country everyone is visiting from, and what browser and OS everyone is using. Hope you enjoy, and thanks again. ~Adam

A Young Person's Guide to Cursed - 8 track

 I don't know what to say about this other than hurry up and get one if you want one...

100 Red Cartridges - sold out

75 Dark Gray Cartridges

25 White Cartridges - sold out

A compilation 8 track of (most of) all three Cursed albums - I, II, and III. Important notes about this release: We tried to fit everything from I, II, and III, but we found that 90 minutes of tape was the max time we could fit without running into issues. We had to remove the outro tracks on II and III ("Untitled" on II and "Gutters" on III) to be able to fit all three albums. Each one of these is made by hand and recorded in real time on vintage machines using refurbished cartridges and vintage tape. These are playable and meant to be, but also individual works of art.
